		Normally the FLAC plugin for XMMS is installed with a package, but some of the <a href="download.html">binary builds</a> have a compiled plugin.  All that is necessary is to copy <span class="code">libxmms-flac.so</span> to the directory where XMMS looks for input plugins (usually <span class="code">/usr/lib/xmms/Input</span> or <span class="code">$HOME/.xmms/Input</span>).  There is nothing else to configure.  Make sure to restart XMMS before trying to play any <span class="code">.flac</span> files.

		Since Winamp 5.31, Nullsoft has supplied a FLAC plugin with their Full install; nothing else is needed to get FLAC to play in Wnamp.<br />
		<br />
		Before Winamp 5.31 it was necessary to use our FLAC plugin.  If you have an older version of Winamp, our plugin is still available in the <a href="http://cyberial.com/flacinstaller.asp">FLAC Installer for Windows</a>.  The Winamp plugin should work for both Winamp2 and Winamp5.  All that is necessary is to copy <span class="code">in_flac.dll</span> to the <span class="code">Plugins/</span> directory of your Winamp installation.  There is nothing else to configure.  Make sure to restart Winamp before trying to play any <span class="code">.flac</span> files.
